The Frog who Aspired to Become as Big as the Ox

A Frog espied an Ox that seemed to her of a noble size.She, no bigger than an egg,Envious, stretches, puffs up and laboursTo match the animal in size,Saying: 'Hey watch me sister;Is this enough? tell me; am I there yet?-No way! -How about now? -Not at all. - Is that it ?You aren't even close.' The puny, pretentious creatureSwelled up so much that she croaked.The world is full of people who aren't too wise:People with some money wish to build like royalty,Every minor prince has ambassadors,Every marquis wants servants.
